Trivia

Jim Wynorski shot this in 12 days, which explains the energy. He's made over 150 films, most with titles containing 'Bikini' or 'Dinosaur.'

Cultural

This premiered on UPN as a 'movie of the week' in that brief window when networks tried competing with Syfy's original programming. It lost.
